Who do we serve? Do we serve Hashem or do we serve our selves? I love to ask questions and to argue to find the truth in life. Too often people are just going through life with no meaning or purpose. This was the question, Adam and Ḥawwāh had to ask and to determine for all of their future children. What is the meaning of life?
Aharon was Moshe Rabbeinu’s brother and served as the High Priest in the Desert Tabernacle.
What was Aharon’s greatest mistake and what should he have done differently? How was
Aharon partially responsible for the death of his two older sons? What made Aharon such a
great marriage counselor and how can that information help us today? These and many more
questions discussed in Rav Ginsburgh’s live broadcast for the month of August.
The Rambam was looking forward to the future when we would no longer be in exile and living in Eretz Israel, (may it be soon and in our day) and we would no longer need the local minhagim of our Hakhamim and bet din to keep us unified in the exile as a family unit (Klal Israel), but as a nation gathered together, with Shoftim as in the days of old. Bound by the minhagim of Eretz Israel and the great Sanhedrin.
This is the reason the Rambam did not focus on customs in his approach to his Halachah and writings. The Rambam was both living in the future and anticipating our Kibbutz Galiot.
If one is truly interested in learning, then one must first submit himself or herself to Judah the “LAWGIVER”; otherwise, one is a law unto himself. Learning begins with understanding the importance of Jewish rules. Judah – The Lawgiver of God Hebrew: Mechoqeck
There are rules for interpreting the Tanach, handed down to us by Moshe Rabbeinu, which are part of the Torah. One cannot interpret the Torah on one’s own without knowing Hebrew, because the Torah is only the notes of those who stood at Sinai for the Lecture.
